Langstone) in strongly resenting the. intru: sion of any politician into what is merely a matter of business between sawmillers and the Government; . .'•'; "The business of any association, whether of employers.or of workers,' Mr Callwell said, "is to protect the interests of all' its members,' not some' of-them.
